This year we came for the third time within the last four years - and again enjoyed this extraordinary place. Besides the amazing location also the stuff around the cook and property manager Maduro is just wonderful. We have been welcomed warmly like having coming home. At any time they did their best to make our family happy and helped us to have a relaxing and peaceful stay.
We especially like the privacy of Walatta House and the beautyful beach which is directly accessable from the property.
Our family had the absolute pleasure of being welcomed into the Walatta house fold in late July. Wow, it was a truly magical three days, and an absolute sensory extravaganza ! The smells Maduras incredible cooking creations, the sound of the wild stormy waves, the feel of the stone underfoot and soft waters, the view to the Indian ocean and tropical plants that wove within and around the house.... Simply amazing.
I don't know that i have seen our family so relaxed!
Of course the extraordinary attention to our meals was a highlight, Madura would gather us each morning to create the menu for the day, the kids were in heaven! We even got a few tips in the kitchen ... those devilled nuts.
The attention to detail and the great care in truly hosting from Suranga and all the team working tirelessly behind the scenes.
Not to forget Wally the dog who loved to escort us on long beach walks and joined us in the pool too!. And what a pool, best ever.
The gardens are just exquisite and they way nature and house blend is a delight, loved the grass roof and the way the roof lights allow the plants to grow through.
We weathered a moody storm, and lost the power a couple of times, but the generator kicked in within minutes with this pro team.
Not once did we worry for our security, it never entered our head. We decided to continue with our travels to Sri Lanka post the April bombing, after much much careful thought. I can whole heartedly say that it was an incredibly safe experience around the entire country and we have never felt such great care and hosting as by the Sri Lankan people.
Come and experience this magic place !!
We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful villa. We were 7 family members, our 5 year old son stayed in our room that was the largest and they added one bed for some fee in this room. The villa is beautifully built and is clean and comfortable. The chef/ manager is gifted, the presentation of the food and table setting is beautiful and the staff are friendly and helpful and they make sure you have everything you need.
The ocean is 5 minutes away and suitable for swimming while there is swimming pool with pioneering view towards the ocean.
We requested 2 masseuse to come to the villa. A lady and a gentleman came. I recommend the stone and steam massage with the man. The oil massage with the lady was ordinary.
We all had a great time and highly recommend this place. Thank you Madhura and team
Walatta House is an incredible place, absolutely perfect getaway house for a couple in love.
Once we arrived and saw the place, we decided to not leave the house and just indulge in everything it has to offer. And that's a lot: a beautiful private room with a huge window looking at the pool (+ two more rooms that we didn't use), garden and the ocean below, lush garden with a hammock, super comfortable chill area in the shade, amazing pool, private way to the beach, tasty food served the way you want it, and great staff that provided us with anything we could think of. Couldn't wish for more, really! All we can think about since we left is how to come back once again :D
Simply a paradise! 10/10
This modern luxurious villa on top of a hill, overlooking the ocean, surrounded with palmtrees can only be described as paradise.
With Madura daily cooking delicious meals and two other staff members serving you tea and taking care of everything, there is not really a reason for you to leave the house.
Stroll down to the beautiful beach, cool down in the breathtaking infinity pool or just read a book in the open space lobby, Walatta House is a perfect place to take a break from the world and clear your mind.
Needless to say, the upkeep was perfect and the rooms spaceous with walk-in wardrobes and plant filled open air bathrooms.
The only downside of visiting this place is when you have to leave it behind.
Thanks again to Madura and his staff for taking such great care of us. We had an unforgettable experience.
